Costa Rica

Awake early because of the 2 hour time difference and the sleeping schedule. The last 3 nights we were there we had a 5 am wake up call from a howler monkey. If you tried to make the loudest, deepest sound you could while breathing in you would have a decent idea of what it sounds like. The last night we were in a house on a hill, and the monkey was in the tree next to us. He called at 1, 4, and 5. Diurnal my ass. We hiked up to the top of the hill and watched the sun rise from an observation tower. Very beautiful. We got back to the house and Paul tried to imitate the howl. The monkey glared at us, shook his branch, pooped twice, howled, and ran away. At least he didn’t throw it.
